"Dearest:

There's no law-court, courting hero;

Longing for a lover's sighs;
My dear and most respected sir,

Ah l havo chosen you of all
To make my first, my mnldeu call,
Your heart and hand I now request
(Mr.ny a truth Is said In Jcat);
'And If your will does so Incline,
Then make your wedding also mine;
